当代台湾社会转型与人间佛教运动

Social Transformation in Contemporary Taiwan and Humanistic Buddhism Movements

人间佛教的基本内涵,是在民国期间太虚大师提出的"去鬼化"和印顺导师提出的"去天神化"。这种去鬼神化的人间佛教理论,在台湾的刚性威权社会向柔性威权社会转型,再由柔性威权社会向民主社会转型过程中,得到了循序渐进式的发展。从人间佛教理论的视角来看,白圣长老领导的传戒运动,属于台湾的人间佛教话语。在柔性威权社会兴起的佛光山和慈济功德会,是人间佛教运动向台湾民间深入扎根的具体表现。当代台湾的人间佛教运动,具有台湾区域性、大陆传统性和国际性三大特色。
